Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and Open Ownership (OO)

Opening Extractives

Mission

End the use of anonymous companies linked to corruption and mismanagement in the extractive sector

Goals

Open Ownership (OO) and the Extractives Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) International Secretariat have partnered to deliver Opening Extractives, a global programme to catalyse the availability and use of beneficial ownership data.

The programme's three objectives are:

  • Implementing beneficial ownership transparency effectively

  • Driving progress towards beneficial ownership transparency internationally

  • Using beneficial ownership data to realise its impact

Stakeholders

Opening Extractives takes a multi-stakeholder approach, bringing together governments, companies, civil society and other stakeholders to drive forward the necessary legal and technical reforms.

Activities

The programme combines political and technical engagement with participating countries to implement reforms on beneficial ownership disclosure in the extractive sector. It builds on the collaboration of OO and the EITI in delivering workshops, training and technical assistance in a broad range of countries.
